ESSEC Business School, The Pioneering Spirit

CREATED IN 1907, ESSEC BUSINESS SCHOOL IS AN ACADEMIC INSTITUTION OF EXCELLENCE WHICH THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY HAS BEEN CHARACTERIZED BY ITS PIONEERING SPIRIT.

In both full-time education and executive education, ESSEC proposes a wide range of programs to all those wanting to obtain an extraordinary learning experience, strengthen their talent, express their leadership and become truly high-level managers. A centennial institution with a wide network of academic and corporate partners throughout the world, ESSEC has opted to focus its strategic development on three principles: innovation, involvement and internationalization which compose the three axes of the ESSEC 3i strategy that will be implemented from here until 2020.

An institution nourished by research and committed to an ambitious development of alliances with leading institutions, ESSEC constantly strives to bring its students face to face with cutting-edge knowledge at the crossroads of discipline and to provide them with the latest technologies.

Hallmarked by a profound humanistic tradition, ESSEC has succeeded not only in making the link between business and society a major subject of research, but it is also one of the fundamental components in the training of responsible managers. ESSEC thereby affirms the necessity of putting innovation, knowledge and the creation of value at the service of the wider community.

With students coming from 96 different countries, a largely international faculty body and a campus in the Asia-Pacific region since 2005, ESSEC is both an international and multicultural institution. This internationalization has been strengthened by the building of a new campus in Singapore, a presence in Rabat, Morocco, as well as development projects in Africa and Latin America.

These three axes – innovation, involvement and internationalization – forge ESSEC’s learning philosophy that is common to all its programs: accompany our students throughout a learning journey aimed at opening them up to new, unthought-of opportunities. Studying at ESSEC means creating your own path towards the future and joining a supportive community of 47,000 graduates worldwide!

ESSEC MBA IN INTERNATIONAL LUXURY BRAND MANAGEMENT

Introduction2017 marks a very special year for us, as we are celebrating the 22nd Anniversary of ESSEC’s MBA in International Luxury Brand Management.

Launched in 1995 and regarded by some with a certain degree of scepticism because at that time specialized MBA’s just did not exist, with 17 students in the first class, the numbers have steadily risen over the years with 33 students in this year’s class graduating in September 2017 and over 650 alumni around the globe.

We are particularly proud that this program, still the only one of its kind, has become a reference in terms of international luxury brand management both within the educational field and within the luxury industry itself and that over the years we have been able to fulfil our initial goal to “train the Managers of Tomorrow”, with a number of our alumni now holding key positions in the industry worldwide.

Every year the program attracts participants from as many as 20 different nationalities with an average of 7 years international professional experience. This one year program provides an intensive and demanding learning experience in fashion & accessories, jewellery & watches, fragrances & cosmetics, wines & spirits and retail. Students are exposed to all the major players in the industry through CEO & HR conferences, site visits, case studies, field projects and mentors thus enabling them to constitute a huge diversity of expertise and an invaluable network of industry professionals.

The MBA Program also provides ongoing career orientation and support to participants to help them find suitable positions upon graduation. Individual counselling, seminars on job search techniques, interview simulation exercises, recruitment sessions and CV Book distribution are some of the ways we assist participants and keep them in contact with job market realities during their studies.

Please feel free to directly contact those participants whose profile may be of specific interest to you.

The CV Book is also available on www.essec.edu under MBA Luxe.

Brief description of the MBA ProgramThe MBA in International Luxury Brand Management program is a one-year intensive program, delivered in English at the ESSEC Campus, on the outskirts of Paris.

It is structured to provide maximum exposure to the luxury and prestige goods industry.In addition to the studies and projects focusing on the sector, participants also gain practical experience and in-depth knowledge of the industry through Boutique Internships, International Field Trips, and Global Field Projects.

Boutique InternshipsThe luxury and prestige sector is one where retail is the ultimate battleground. Therefore all MBA participants spend at least 1 week working in a boutique. At the end of the internship, both MBA participants and host companies write an evaluation report.

International Field TripsThree field trips are organized to major international destinations, which either have an established luxury sector or have an emerging market in the luxury sector. Through company presentations and site visits, MBA participants are able to better understand these markets and gain a deeper insight into the company from an international perspective. Field trips this year are to Hong Kong, Dubai and Milan/Florence.

Global Field ProjectsParticipants are required to carry out specific consultancy projects for luxury and prestige companies to give them maximum exposure to real life situations within the industry. The Global Field Project is carried out in teams of 3/4 between May and July. It concerns a business issue within a company (for example, business plan for a new activity, feasibility study for activity expansion abroad) and is monitored by an MBA Professor and by a company executive.
